About Date Time Conversion
Date time conversion transforms timestamps between different formats used in programming, databases, and systems. Essential for developers working with APIs, databases, logging systems, and cross-platform applications.
- Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable formats
- Transform between ISO 8601, RFC formats, and custom patterns
- Handle timezone conversions and UTC offsets
- Support for millisecond and microsecond precision
- Real-time conversion with instant updates

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unix timestamp?
Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to represent time in programming and databases.
How do I handle timezones?
Our converter supports timezone conversions. You can specify source and target timezones, or convert to/from UTC. Always consider timezone when working with timestamps across regions.
What's the difference between ISO 8601 and RFC 2822?
ISO 8601 (2023-03-15T12:00:00Z) is more compact and machine-readable. RFC 2822 (Wed, 15 Mar 2023 12:00:00 GMT) is more human-readable and used in email headers.
Can I convert millisecond timestamps?
Yes! We support both second-precision (10 digits) and millisecond-precision (13 digits) Unix timestamps. The converter automatically detects the format.
Programming Examples
JavaScript:
// Current timestamp
const now = Date.now(); // milliseconds
const nowSeconds = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); // seconds
// Convert timestamp to date
const date = new Date(1678886400 * 1000);
console.log(date.toISOString()); // 2023-03-15T12:00:00.000Z
// Convert date to timestamp
const timestamp = new Date('2023-03-15T12:00:00Z').getTime() / 1000;
Python:
import datetime
# Convert timestamp to datetime
timestamp = 1678886400
dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
print(dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
# Convert datetime to timestamp
dt = datetime.datetime(2023, 3, 15, 12, 0, 0)
timestamp = int(dt.timestamp())
